A GOOD DAY FOR SNAKES.
The Summer Liar Already On His
Travels.

A hunter who has hunted and mined
from Arizona to the Yellowstone, and
who is highly esteemed for truth and
veracIty, was telling me that he had the
other day made a wonderfuI;discovery
and that he had seen gold that would
put the Treasury of the United States
at discount. The discovery was made
In the mountains, not more than 10
miles from the government bridge ov er
Yampa River, in Routt County, Colo
RADIO.
He said that when he was on top of
one of the mountains seen from the
bridge that ne saw at the bottom of q
cliff that he was peering over that the
ground was smooth and clean, as if deer
or bear had been in the habit of resting
and summing themselves through the
heat OF the early spring days.
Being anxious to get deer or have q
fight with bear, he descended by a
Peering cautiously around for game, he
was somewhat startled at hearing the
rattle of snake. Looking about, he saw
large number of them lying around,
while there was a constant stream of
them going into a round hole In the
rock near the bottom of the cliff.
Being anxious to destroy as many OF
the reptiles as he could, he procured q
forked stick and placing the fork ever
the neck of one of the largest, he PIN
Toned him to the ground; then tying q
half dozen sticks of giant powder to his
tail, set slow match to 1t and then let
him go. After seeing his snakeship go
into the hole, the hunter retrested to q
safe distance to await developments.
First there was slight trembling of the
ground, then a burst that shook the
mountain like an earthquake, and with
that burst the whole side of the cliff top
pied off and fell to the ground, and up
went more snakes than was ever
thought of by either CULVER or Baron
Munchausen. The face of the rock was
honeycombed with round holes, out of
which snakes were pouring like water
through a knot hole, as long as the
hunter stayed, and he stayed long
enough to see many thousands when he
left, but not until he had seen that the
whole face of the cliff was covered with
solid gold.-UnknOip Exchange.

Pekin ducks are the largest, most

age. the best ducks on earth. They
have been known to lay two hundred
eggs in two hundred and five consecu-
tive days.
Now is the time to set all non.setters
eggs.
1t will soon pe time to break up set
tiers. To do this, never put them in q
dark place and starve them, as that is
the plan they follow when setting, as
they seek dark and secluded places
and never come off till driven to from
hunger. Put them in a light, airy
coop, especially for egg production, and
give them the company of a vigorous
cockerel for companship. We have 8
place on purpose and every night as
we gather eggs We put in all hens found
on the nests, and every Sunday turn
them all out. OF course those put in
the last of the week will go to setting
again, but We will find them Sunday
night and in they 60 again till the
next Sunday. If they are allowed t.
set on the nest any length of time they
are much harder to break up.
Get rid of all your male birds now, i
you are done setting, and "put down
the eggs for the December D cent mar
ket. Fertile eggs are easily spoile,
while unfertile eggs will keep a Ions

The Leaguers received another black
eye in the decision of the Kasebeer VS.
Philpot case which was tried q few
days ago before Squire Walters. The
facts are briefly these: For several
years Kasebeer has been renting al
farm in Salem township to q Mr.. Phil
pot. When the last years lease was
made it was agreed that Philpot should
give up possession Of the place when
the year was out, which was March l. |
When that date arrived Philpot, ST.,
was out of the county but his son and |
the'remainder of the family were on
the place as Leaguers, refusing to give
Kasebeer possession or to pay him
rent. Mr.. Kasebeer brought suit for
fOrcible entry and detainer. The de-
Tense attempted to have the case re-
moved to the District Court on the |
ground that there was a question of
title involved, but Judge Walters very
rightly held that there was no such |
question involved, and had the case
tried i'm his own court. The testimony |
showed plainly enough that Philpot |
was naked trespasser, aud the court |
appeal the case to the District Court |
but was not able to give a satisfactory
bond, and last week Constable Brown
elected him and put Kasebeer in pos
session. We are no lawyer, but 1t
seems to US that the result of this suit
might furnish pointer for the conduct
Of similar ones. When a man is on
land without being able to
show line or color of title. we do not
gee why he should not be elected just
as any ordinary trespasser would be,
instead of being allowed to hold on to
the land while an ejectment trial drags
its weary length through two or three
terms of court. The plaintiff in the

MUSTERED OUT.

As briefly noted last week DR.. John
A. Hart died at the residence of his
daughter. Mis-. A. G. Jones, Wednes-
day evening April 90, at eight o'clock,
in the list year of his age.
The funeral services were held at the
Christian church at 4o'clock Thursday
afternoon, under the auspices of Nc
Cook Post G. A. r., of which he was
a member, Rev. Hunt officiating.
Dr.Hart was born in North Carolina,
but most of his young manhood was
spent in Illinois, Indiana and other
northern states. In 1858 he came to
Kansas and located on the Cave Spring
farm, south east Of lola. Soon after
this town was laid out he removed here
and engaged in the hotel business.
When the war broke out he enlisted
aud served three years with the 9th
Kansas. Upon the expiration of his
term he was commissioned assistant
surgeon Of the 10th Kansas with which
he served througha long, arduous and
dangerous campaign against the In
dams in the northwest. 1t was dur
ing this terrible campaign through the
Black Hills and the Bad Lands that he
incurred the disability from which he
suffered ever afterward and to which
his death was no doubt due.
Returning to lola he again engaged
in the hotel business, building what is
now the Pennsylvania Hotel (known
then as the Locust Grove House,
which he conducted successfully for
several years. AS long as he remained
in active business life, he was public
spirited aud enterprising, giving freely
of his means and time to any project
for the building up of the town. AL
though reared in rough school his
personal character and habits were
above reproach. He was strictly tenn
perate. was not addicted to the use of
tocaccO in any form and his business
integrity was never questioned.
DR.. Hart was naturally gifted with
rather remarkable powers, and had
these been supplemented bya thor
ough education there is little doubt
that he would have achieved distinc-
ton. B v nature and temperament he
was an orator. He had a massive and
well balanced head, an inexhaustible
vocabulary, a flexible voice, inimitable
powers of mimicry, and abundant wit.
1t was these faculties, together with a
keen appreciation of the ludicrous that
made him a remarkably effective and
entertaining story-teller.
But he is dead now and the places
that have known him almost daily
these D years past, will know him no
more for ever. He will be pleasantly
remembered as he was in his life time
by hundreds of acquaintance all over
the county and State, who will hope
that the sods may rest lightly on him
and that he may sleep in peace till the
great day comes when the graves shall
yield up their dead.

A Valuable Hint.

ED. REGISTER: Here is q bit oil
knowledge gained by experience, tina,
is worth the price Of subscription to
readers of the Farmers Column.
This is the time of year when the
great increase TO the stock of Our
farms comes, and sometimes there is
trouble in this bringing forth at the
time Of delivery.
Two cases Of this kind have come
to my knowledge this spring; one of
my own the other Of one of my neigh
bOrs.
A good deal of care should be taken
of the mothers for q while after, as it is
usually very exhausting to them. 1t
is good plan to give a little turpen-
tine either as drench or on the groin,
which should always be fed to cows at
that time unless they are on q full
feed of grass. 1t is also good to give
them when they do mot clean well.

Nnf Wor~a

Prof. O,mler says. in Missouri Hort
iculturai report, by placing cabbage
leaves and bundles of grass along the
rows of watermelons, l caught by
hunting them daily 1,53S worms on
about quarter of an acre, before the
seeds came ZIP. and lost but a single
melon plant.
When land is prepared for cabbage
or any other crop which needs protec-
ton, procure clover grass or anything
which the worms are known to be fond
of, and dip in a solution Of Paris Green
or they may be first moistured and
then sprinkled with a mixture Of one
part of Paris Green to twenty of flour,
and placed carefully over the surface
of the ground.
Two such applications, particularly
on cloudy days will suffice to allow
the cut-worms to make way with them
selves, which they generally do with
perfect success.
If the stuff used is loosely tied in
bundles. it serves double purpose of
prOlonging the freshness of the bait,
and atf0rding lure for shelter. L.
